Sundew could feel the tension and excitement from the dragons around her. The group, dragons from all ten tribes, were on a mission to save Pantala from the Breath of Evil's reign.
Moon and Qibli, the NightWing and SandWing of the group, were looping around each other, laughing and swooping close to the ocean. Luna hauled Pineapple up for the fourth time, as the RainWing always fell asleep while flying.
Wren and Sky, meanwhile, were zooming through the clouds and chasing after Lynx, a blue-freckled IceWing not much older than Sundew herself. Tsunami was farther ahead, scouting a way and looking out for danger. Bullfrog flew quietly next to Luna, staring into the dark waters.
"Do you think Blue's alright?" That was Cricket. Sundew sighed, turning to find the HiveWing dragonet looking anxiously at her. "What if Wasp made him do all sorts of horrible things? He'll feel so guilty and-"
"That's why we're here, right?" Sundew interrupted. "To save everyone and find out who's the scavenger in Snowfall's vision."
"But...can we really trust her?" Luna overheard their conversation and but in. "She wasn't very nice to you when you first arrived, wasn't she?"
"Snowfall's visions are our only clues right now," Cricket argued. "We need to trust her. She's convinced Wren to come along, right?"
That was true. The young IceWing queen had asked Wren, a scavenger who could speak Dragon, to participate in their mission, along with Sky the SkyWing dragonet. Wren had reluctantly agreed, though saying that they'd need to keep Sky safe.
"I guess." Luna frowned. "Well, anyways. I thought you had another friend with you. Jasmin, right?"
"Jasmin..." Sundew sighed again. She wondered where the dragonet from the Distant Kingdoms was. There was no way she could have missed the camp; an assassin would have found her way out pretty easily.
But Sundew wasn't very worried. Jasmin could fight her way out of anything, and she'd proven that by killing the patrol of HiveWings when they'd first met.
"I wonder how she is," Cricket echoed her thoughts. "Maybe she found a way to free everyone from the Breath of Evil, but we left without her."
"Yeah. Probably." Sundew agreed. "Come on. We should hurry up. Tsunami'll get impatient-"
"Moon!" Qibli's voice cut her off. They whipped around to find Moon diving to a nearby island.
And a HiveWing patrol was on their way there.
